Look, even the windows on each floor are decorated differently. The fact is that many homes in this part of the city were erected in order to generate profits, and then they were called - profitable. And each floor, as a rule, was planned, as a separate apartment, which was rented for one family, who paid for it monthly. Therefore, the stucco (decor) around the windows is different, which marks, that absolutely different people live in this building.
By the way, look attentively at the roof. The glass pyramid, which resembles a greenhouse, is hard to miss. And this time it's not a whim of architects, but a fully functional element. At the end of the nineteenth century, the problem of high-quality indoor lighting was very relevant. And everywhere, where it was possible, sunlight was used, for example, with the help of such a roof.
